TO introduce private real-estate deals in a suppl
cation at a church prayer-meetilg. Don't do it,
Brother Dawson"
But Brother Dawson was OF stubborn dis
position, and this only made him deter
mined. He continued:
LAS I was saying, l desire to return thanks
for Thy providential guidance while placing my
North side addition the market. AS Thou
probably knowest l have thrown the entire
addition on the market at $3.50 per lot, though
they are well worth"
"How's that, Brotherl' put in Rev. Bagley
eagerly, he took his face out of his hands and
peered sdewise over his spectacles from where
he was kneeling in front of the sofa.
-Four hundred and fifty dollars a lot, Elder"
answered Brother Dawson.

Colonel Nrorrison,s Ambition,

Jpecfal TO the Indianaeoiis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Aug. IA gentleman who is
on intimate terms with Colonel Morrison says
that the interstate-commerce commissioner is
not so anxious to return to his seat in the House
of Representatives as he is generally thought to
be. 1.-THE one thing which Colonel Morrison
6esires above everything else" said this friend,
els the nomination for the vice presidency
the Democratic ticket He is very DESTROYS
indeed to be honored by his party with that
nomination. IF he fails to secure that honor he
will allow his name to be used candidate
for the seat now occupied in the House by Jehu
Baker. Mr.. Morrson's friend says thai he is
determined to END his political career in the
United States Senate if it possibly be
arranged If he cannot be the Vice president of
the Nation he will enter the upper branch of
Congress through the doors of the lower branch.
Then when there is a vacant seat in the Senate
90 fill he will offer his name to the Legislature
of Illinois, provided, of course, there is a DEM
ocratic majority in that body. All OF the
Colonefs neighbors who are now in Washington
seem to think that. with a Democratic majority
in the Illinois Legislature, Mr.. Morrison would
surely be the chosen candidate of the party for
Che Senate"

Suicide as a Right.
T,ondAn Trnth.


The whole law about suicide is radically
wrong. Every man has the power to take his
own life, and what authority is there for saying
that he is not free to exercise this power as
much as any other intrusted to himl That he
is justified in exercisnsit under certain circum-
stances no rational being doubt. There may
be justifiable suicide just much as justifable
homicide But what the circumstances may be
which will justify the rash act" is not my bust
ness to say. 1t is a question of morals. of
law, and, therefore. l contend that are fun
damentally wrong in stamping suicide a
crime. For the same reason | protest against
the GROWERS quest assumption that every sui
eide is, prima face, insane OF course there is
suicidal mania as there is homicldal MANIA but
the act in itself is necessaraly insane
than it is feionious. Dixi.

A Democrat, who is not known Cleveland
Democrat, but who is better known in his party
than Mr.. Cleveland was year before his nomi-
nation, spoke as follows about the Ohio indorse-
ment of the administration and some of the
methods of the latter:
''The Presidents friends profess to take COM
1srt from the nominations made by the Demo
seattle convention in Ohio, which are regarded
As administration triumph. With the
tainty of defeat staring them in the face. they
are easily satisfied. Other conventions may pass
perfunctionary resolutions of praise for Ceve-
land as that at Cleveland did, but this cheap lip
service has neither significance nor value. Mr..
Cleveland more than any, or, indeed. all former
Presidents, has taken the government into his
own hands He personally runs all the ma
chinery. great and small, which in any way ap-
pertains to the Executive Department He
treats the Cabinet as so many clerks hired to do
his bidding, and he gives them the smallest share
of confidence Lamont alone Is near to him.

promised visit was a surprise to the Cabinet as
much as it was to the public"

WAsHINGroN Aug. The President said to-

that he should in every case, request those
cities which proposed to send delegations to
Washington conveying invitations to him on his
Western trip, to forego that formality and for
ward their communications by mail He has
a full appreciation Of the cordial spirit which
prompts such courtesy. and which is most graft
flying, but il seems to him unnecessary that
such journeys for such purpose at this heated
season of the year, should be undertaken.
In addition to this consideration he
said it bad been his purpose to feel free to alb

House he should feel disposed during this
month, and to make engagements which
would require his presence here at any stated
time 1t is probable that he will leave here the
last days of September and go directly to St
Louis and from there to Kansas City. St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Nashville
and Atlanta The St. Louis and Atlanta dates
being fixed, il will not be practicable to deviate
much from this programme. The journey will be
made by the ordinary route of travel between
the cities named, and the disposition Of the
President will be to much of the country
and the people his route will be consis-
tent with the limited time and positive engage
ments.

ZIONIST, a lawyer an expert penman. His voice

man through key hole. He was fond of per-
fumery and devoted to Florida water In his
desk which has just been cleaned out, a variety
of articles were found, from a six-shooter TO
bag of sachet powder. Every style of pen, from
the smooth goose-quill and the soft stub to the
stiff Falcon, found showing that Harvey
knew how to equip himself in the business OF
initiating signatures. There were thirteen
kinds of ems in all. There were six different
kinds of ink-black. violet blue, and three
mixed inks which puzzled the experts who ex-
amIned them. AS for stationery, every sort and
shade was found in his wel-stocked mahogany
desk. If it became necessary for CIV. w.
